Rei talking about her clones, The Second Try, chapter 9

Jahn, talking about making Idenn into a Demon Dragon, Fire Emblem Elibe

You came for me, I presume. I wouldn't want to seem ungrateful, but emotion is... a phantom itch now. We are not of the same species, you and I. I have no nostalgia for Earth. I cut it out.

I am... rarefied. This dimension has worked a great alchemy on me, and in return I mean to restore it... to greatness. Every petrified forest must start from a single manganese seed.

Galvatron: That is why I have no fear!

Ted: I couldn't have planned it better.
